  1. Is this the same bass?

  2. Sorry for digging up an old thread but I thought it better than starting a new one.

    Does anyone have a problem with the volume controls on their Aerodyne Jazz? It's not a massive issue; but mine seems to increase in volume as the knob is turned until it gets to about four fifths of the way round then it sort of muffles and gets quieter.

    I have read about this issue before but no amount of searching is bringing anything up now.

    Any ideas?

  3. 6.3 and 8mm with be the shank size meaning you will just have to go easy and take smaller bites or you will end causing the bit to chatter and give a poor cut. Thinner = flexy. Just remember to look at the speed/feed rating on the bits and stick to it as this will help it last longer and give a better finish.

    Just be wary of climb-cutting and end grain, that's where all the brown trouser moments happen.

  4. You can get away with a cheap router if you don't work it too hard. As long as there's no slop or run-out on the spindle it should be ok. The depth adjustment can be hit or miss on the lower end routers so double-double check before any important cuts are made.

    Good cutters are very important, don't scrimp on these. I use and would recommend Wealden and Titman tooling (both are good British makers). I've never built a guitar but I'd imagine one or two 'up cut' or 'down cut' bearing guided straight's would cover most things. You might want one with end cut for doing pickup cavities and neck pockets

    Is it a half inch collet?

  5. Very nice work.

    I love the shape, where did you get the inspiration from? I'm soon going to make a body for an old bass I have lying around and you have inspired me to try something a bit different... Where did you get the pots from? I will have to re-wire too.

    keep at it, you have some skills there.
